When you think of great political thrillers THE GHOST WRITER must be
included in any list. Ewan McGregor's “Ghost” spends the movie trying
to figure out the world he's been dropped in the middle of. And
learning it all with him is a wonderfully satisfying ride. Brosnan is
wonderful as a mix of Tony Blair & Bill Clinton. The whole cast is
great. Say what you will about Polanski the man. Polanski the director
is a genius. — Alan Yudman
